A Small & Gentle Music Experience for Children in East Setauket Long Island
This Christmas break,
if you’re looking for a calm, meaningful morning activity for your child —
not a loud or crowded camp —
I’d love to introduce this small music camp.
🌿 What Kind of Camp Is This?
This is not a high-pressure training program,
and it’s not a large, noisy daycare-style camp.
This is a small, home-based morning music camp designed for children who:
・enjoy music
・benefit from a gentle learning environment
・thrive when they are truly seen and guided
・The focus is on exploration, listening, and positive first experiences with music.
🎻 What Will Children Do Each Morning?
Each day (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM), children will enjoy:
🎵 Rhythm games and movement activities
🎶 Music fundamentals through stories and play
🎹 Piano exploration (small-group rotation)
🎻 Violin exploration (no prior experience required)
🎨 Creative music activities and listening time
🤍 Building focus, confidence, and cooperation
👉 The goal is not to master an instrument
👉 The goal is to feel comfortable, curious, and joyful with music
